Meditation To Remove Negative Emotion

so here's uh so here's what we're gonna do i'm gonna teach you guys manipura mantra meditation so i think a lot of the themes today have been around emotional processing and digestion so i've been doing a little bit of research about how to process emotions through meditation so what i'm going to share with you all today is not really um it's not really like scientific so i haven't seen really any studies that suggest that you know what i'm about to teach all is like actually effective and at the same time i think i've had a lot of good personal experiences with chakra meditation i've taught it to patients and things like that that feel like it helps so what we're going to do today is manipura chakra mantra meditation so let me explain a couple of things so the manipura chakra is your navel chakra and this is the chakra chakra whatever of your energetic system your spiritual energetic system that governs digestion so when i think about emotional problems i think about digestive blocks for emotions so if you think about a process of like psychotherapy what tends to happen is people will have some kind of blockage of emotion and when you do therapy with someone they'll have like a breakthrough in therapy that tends to come with an up rushing of emotion and then you kind of like process it whatever that means and then like people feel better afterwards so even though the process of psychotherapy involves experiencing oftentimes a lot of negative emotions people will describe the process as feeling lighter freer you know they feel healthier afterward even though that it's like a lot of negative emotion and somehow it's therapeutic another good example of this is funerals so like if you look at the process of a funeral what happens is we basically all get together and we experience a lot of sense of like loss and sadness and grief and then after the funeral people start to like feel better right some people kind of stay stuck but generally speaking funerals are like part of the reason we have them is because they help us process those negative emotions so our digestion capability it comes from the manipura chakra so this involves physical digestion as well as emotional digestion so when i'm trying to help people digest their emotions and so i think a big part of this if we're thinking about if you're being held emotionally hostage digesting that emotion should in theory help you be freer from like whatever it's chaining you to right does that make sense so like that emotional energy is what's holding you back so i think a lot of things that we talked about today in terms of being able to go outside you know being held back by like being an emotional hostage um you know being stuck addicted to video games or technology like there's all kinds of emotions that we don't know how to get rid of so hopefully this technique will help okay so we're going to start by sitting up straight so i want your spine to be straight and what we're going to start with is navel breathing okay or belly breathing or abdominal breathing so sit up straight and then what i want you all to do is close your eyes take a moment to notice your breath just slow deep breaths so what we're going to do today is as we breathe we're going to expand our abdomen and contract our abdomen and after we do that we're going to add a second layer of observing the breath travel from our nose all the way through our chest and almost into our abdomen we exhale we're going to feel that pressure and that heat sort of coming out of the abdomen and then for the third phase of the practice after each as we're on a full breath we will use the the mantra so just repeat in your mind or say it out out yeah repeat in your mind or as you exhale you can say ram so we'll use that mantra okay so for the first phase what i want you to do is we're going to do about five breaths so as you breathe in expand your abdomen push your belly out as you exhale contract the abdomen breathe in and as you exhale contract the abdomen breathe in and exhale breath number four breathe in and exhale and contract and breath number five breathe in exhale and contract and now for the next phase you can go ahead and continue breathing at a rate that's comfortable for the next phase as you breathe in i want you to imagine the cool air entering your nose and follow that sensation of coolness all the way through your chest into your abdomen and even to the point of your navel so breathe in feel that air coming in and and going all the way from your nose to your navel and then exhale and feel that heat leaving so breathe in again and follow almost a channel of energy from your nose all the way to your navel and exhale and the reverse flow of warmth breathe in follow the breath down to the navel and exhale let the heat rise up and out of you it may help to breathe in very slowly to really follow that channel of air so very slow breath next and out very slow another slow breath in and out now we'll begin the third phase of the practice there are two options for this phase we'll kind of do either one or we'll do both so now we're going to continue with the breath but as you exhale i want you to listen to the sound of the exhalation and hear the ram as your breath leaves your body so breathe in and then as you exhale hear the the sound of ram in your exhalation inhale again and exhale do two more rounds at your own pace breathing in slowly and exhaling slowly following the breath to your navel and listening for the sound of ram this and now the second option if that was difficult for you is to breathe in and as you exhale repeat in your mind ram ram breathe in and repeat in your mind [Music] and now try it out loud with me take a deep breath in feel the navel expand and instead of exhaling just chant two more rounds deep breath in [Music] feel that vibration in your abdomen last round slow deep breath raw [Music] and now in this space notice the freeing from emotion notice how distant your anxieties your fears even your joy your pride they're all distant now far away that for most of our life we are filled with emotions they swirl through us wreaking havoc on our mind on our behaviors on our relationships that we try really hard to block out the torrent of what we feel we numb ourselves with videos shows games drugs all to deal with these little things we call emotions you don't need to do any of those things do this practice focus on the navel breathe into it and chant or listen to ram or repeat it silently in your head during the practice all three are okay each one is suited to a different cognitive temperament do you like to chant or do you like to listen and now give thanks give thanks to yourself for participating in the practice for the universe for giving you this opportunity and recognize that it's time to return to your regular life go ahead and open your eyes so i've missed meditation i've missed meditating with you guys now i don't want to return well then you're doing it right so let me explain to y'all for those of you that don't want to return to life after meditation now you understand the point so when you don't want to return you should continue to practice go ahead and return and then practice tomorrow and practice the next day and each time you'll return each time it'll be a trauma and practice and practice and practice and then one day something magical will happen when you return to life you'll bring the meditation with you and then even though you're living life you will be in that space of meditation and that is the foundation of enlightenment to be in that space as you live life you'll begin to realize that that's actually the most natural way to live life you've forgotten how to do it so return and one day when you return you're going to bring back a souvenir and that's the day your life will change

I did this meditation. It didn't really do anything for me...whereas commentors on the youtube vid seemed to love it. I'm pretty good with feeling emotion, but it did not help my anxiety. How is it supposed to work?

Oh man, tried this and almost immediately my brain and body started screaming as it normally does when I try any meditation that focuses on my breathing or body scan. I tried to keep going hoping I could push past it but the screaming got so intense I couldnt. I really want to meditate because it seems beneficial but I can't tollerate that sensation.
